Dr Adi Balasubramanian

I am a medical oncologist and clinician scientist based at Cabrini, Monash, and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, with a special interest in thoracic cancers. I am involved in the delivery of early- and late-phase clinical trials for lung cancer.

I work closely with multidisciplinary teams to provide evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each patient. I recently presented my PhD completion seminar at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, where I used CRISPR-Cas9 screening to identify novel immunotherapeutic targets in solid tumours. In 2023, I was awarded a research fellowship to continue this work at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge. My work has been published inThe Lancet Oncology, Cancer Cell, and Journal of Thoracic Oncology, and recognised through competitive grants, international awards, and invited presentations.

I am passionate about integrating research into clinical practice to improve outcomes for people affected by cancer.
